ACP,
Aesthetics aside, I think a lot of people prefer to see the "working side" of the gun--ejection port, extractor, etc.. The Rohrbaugh owner's manual does show a view from both sides in the disassembly/assembly photos. I have seen some clever ads that show the gun pointed at each other with both sides visible. This format may require too much horizontal space on a web site while keeping a good sized photo. The photography was quite excellent on the Rohrbaugh site, I thought. After all, the idea is to sell guns.
